Probably ok for hot dogs and chicken nuggets etc but if it’s anything like beyond burger it just tastes like a shit imitation of the real thing, there is no way this could ever compare to decent steak. Having said that once price comes down it would probably be better and more reliable than cheap / tough beef.

Vegan nuggets at burger king are already good enough tbh.. imo you don't need a lab meat variant

You have to realize it'll never be 1:1 the same. It's not possible. It's like drinking Sunny D and complaining that it's not as good as real orange juice. However, Sunny D is still a decent enough alternative that's cheap and tastes decent.

I think plant meat will go the same route if they can get it cheaper than meat. If it can adequately replace meat and be good enough, people will go towards it. Animal based meat will be seen as the better, but much more expensive version.
